Watermelon Limeade

Here is a recipe for watermelon limeade, a refreshing summer beverage that you can make in the blender in just five minutes! Serve watermelon limeade at your Fourth of July get-together, or any summer potluck!

Sip your way into September with this refreshing, summer sweet burst of juicy watermelon and fresh-squeezed limes.

Try it with a Mexican-style meal–we enjoyed it with quesadillas and guacamole–or with grilled burgers. Mmm, or maybe as a breakfast juice with sausage and egg burritos or hot muffins. Of course, if you’d rather not pair it with food, try a book! Tastes like a good way to finish your summer novel…
